Play the King

Sides
Are not to be drawn
Between who you are
And what you want
Fast
is no way to defend
We just crush the things
We rush in the end
And you take a photograph of this
You put it on your desk
Tqo fool everyone
A chance
Will never be
If you don’t have the strength
To just wait and see
Sand
Flies thru your face
Slides out your hands
Right thru the cracks
And you take a photograph of you
A photograph of me
To fake what it means
Ya can’t hold to it fast
Pretend it will last
Just like your dreams
Cough
You need to get out
The dust that got in
While you were in doubt
Float
Above everything
You wear the crown
And I’ll play the king
We save the pictures that we take
Behind the glass
For arguments sake
We try to take the right steps
And cancel the checks
Before it’s too late

We’re always taught to settle
Don’t fight things’ll get better
But some nights you feel you’ll never get there
Strong wings made of leather, well
We all gotta stick together
Cause there’s all kind of storms to weather out there
They move with lightning speed
And they know just what you need
But there’s no guarantee
It’s gonna get us somewhere
They say you’ve got to sever, but
No way not me not never, I
Can’t face it alone forever out there
Thick skinned and part barbarian
Ich bin ein American
I learn to give whatever I can
They move with lightning speed
And they know just what you need
But there’s no guarantee
It’s gonna get us somewhere
Long nights filled with pleasure, brings
Hard days and nothing to treasure, we
Find ourselves bruised and battered and bare
Big bus pulls into the station
Takes us on a year’s vacation and
Leave us feelin scattered and scared
¬
It moves with lightning speed
And it knows just what we need
But there’s no guarantee
It’s gonna get us somewhere
